Choose compensation components for a stable control loop using the procedure outlined as follows.
- Based on the target loop crossover frequency,
fC, of 60kHz, use Equation 44 to calculate RCOMP1, assuming an effective output capacitance of
128µF. Select RCOMP1 equal to 10kΩ.
Equation 44. - Calculate CCOMP1 to create a zero at
the higher of (1) one tenth of the crossover frequency, or (2) the load pole.
Select a capacitor value for CCOMP1 of 3.3nF. In general, set the
time constant of RCOMP1 and CCOMP1 at approximately 25µs
to maintain a fast settling time of the output voltage following a load
transient.
Equation 45. - Calculate CHF1 to create a pole at the
lower of the ESR zero frequency or at half switching frquency (to attenuate
high-frequency noise). Select a capacitor value for CHF1 of 68pF.
Equation 46.
Note: Set a high loop crossover frequency with high
RCOMP and low CCOMP values to improve the large-signal
response when recovering from operation in dropout.
